AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX Workstation 5th Generation Processor ( 4.5 GHz / 16 Cores / 32 Threads )

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX is a professional workstation processor built on AMD's Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Chagall PRO), manufactured using TSMC's 7nm FinFET process node. Launched in March 2022, it targets demanding creative, engineering, and scientific workflows that require high core counts, large memory bandwidth, and platform reliability. With 16 physical cores and 32 threads enabled via AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), the 5955WX handles heavily parallelised workloads such as 3D rendering, VFX compositing, scientific simulation, and large software compilation projects. The processor runs at a base clock of 4.0GHz and can boost up to 4.5GHz, adapting dynamically to workload intensity. The memory subsystem is a standout feature: the 5955WX supports an eight-channel DDR4 interface at up to 3200MT/s, providing exceptional memory bandwidth for data-intensive applications. ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory is supported, making the platform suitable for mission-critical environments where data integrity is non-negotiable. The processor's cache hierarchy includes 1MB L1, 8MB L2, and 64MB L3 cache, helping to keep frequently accessed data close to the compute units. Connectivity is handled through PCIe 4.0, enabling high-throughput communication with NVMe storage, professional GPU accelerators, and other expansion cards. The processor uses the sWRX8 socket and is designed for single-socket (1P) workstation motherboards. A discrete graphics card is required, as no integrated graphics are present. The 5955WX supports AMD PRO Technologies, hardware virtualisation, AVX, and AVX2 instruction sets. It is not intended for consumer desktop use. The maximum operating temperature (Tjmax) is 95°C, and the default TDP is 280W, requiring robust workstation-grade thermal solutions.
